Buying Advice

Purchasing a home? We save you money!

Buyer Profile System – With this system we better understand what you’re looking for in a home and what fits your lifestyle and you get:

• Priority access to ALL homes that match your criteria within minutes of them being listed on the Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Kitchener, and Niagara real estate boards.
• Real-time access to inventory as it comes on the market. No more searching on out-dated websites with information that is two or three weeks old. No more searching at all because listings are automatically sent to you via e-mail in real time.
• An advantage over other buyers because you receive real-time information.
• To view newly-listed properties before other buyers are even aware they are listed.
• Avoid possible competition and negotiate the lowest price possible. Your time is never wasted viewing homes that don’t fit your requirements. The only properties that are sent to you are the ones that fit your specific criteria.
• Let’s face it, no one looks for a home through newspapers or magazines anymore, a well-priced property will never see print advertising. A well-priced property sells long before advertising is submitted and the publication hits the newsstands, a process that takes 5 days (average). With our system, you’re able to know on “day one” that your dream home is available for sale. It’s very possible that by the time other buyers read about a good listing in the weekend paper, it’s already been sold. How many times have you called an agent on a new listing just to be told it has already been sold?

The following are brief descriptions of the areas:

Dundas – with so much nostalgic ambiance, many filmmakers use this city as a backdrop for movies and TV shows. Stunning period architecture of the homes, stores, and restaurants, and the secure feeling of the Dundas Valley, this area’s luxury homes, condos, and bungalows can warm people’s hearts, inspire artists, and attract newcomers.

Ancaster – a historical village located on the Niagara Escarpment, this natural jewel of Southern Ontario has welcoming charm and abundant beauty. Everyone enjoys the scenic apple orchard, but there’s also golfing, a lobster festival, shopping, dining, and even a corn maze, all of which makes this area truly unique family environment.

Stoney Creek – with cooler summer temperatures coming off Lake Ontario and cottage-style homes and more, natural scenic living is at its finest, yet its close enough to major cities, you can still walk to the marina; all your senses are elated, but especially visually, when you call this place “home.”

Smithville – with agricultural fairs and competitions, demolition derbies, a farmer’s market every Saturday, and annual poultry festival, this town is more like a tiny village, with country hospitality and all the fresh apples, plums, pies, and sweet-living a homeowner could want.
